Winners of the Winter 50 Word Story Contest
I am very sorry it has taken this long to announce our winners. To be honest, we simply had unforeseen troubles. They are getting better, so you should see more from us now. This contest was outstanding. We had a lot of great entries. Some were sent by email. I never understand why. I say don’t email, and about half the entries are emailed. This time we simply didn’t count them.
Here is our list of winners. You can read their stories on our short story site too.
3. Tim Rogers Untitled
2. Laura Flesher

My congratulations to Joe Vandolah.

He thought she was cotton candy, that he could compress her down to a hard core of sweetness. When he said Bitch he meant I thought you would be smooth on my tongue, your opinions would dissolve like sugar, and I could crush the paper cone and toss it aside.
Great 50 word story!!!
